Horizon | ATEEZ - Omegaverse

Chapter Thirty Nine - FINALE

One Year Later

San wakes up this morning with a strange warm and fuzzy feeling enveloping his chest and body as a whole. As soon as he opened his eyes, his arms tingled all the way down to his fingertips and he lifted his arms to examine his hands. They felt as if they were asleep, that kind of feeling, and San only remembers a few times his body has had this type of sensation.

All of those times being in the presence of Seonghwa.

His long lost love that he's been waiting to return to him for what feels like centuries, but it's really only been a year. Any time without Seonghwa was too long in San's eyes.

His body as well as his wolf really began feeling the void of Seonghwa about a month or two after they last saw each other. His wolf could tell San was moving even the slightest bit slower than typical, and his health was on a slow but steady decline.

San's only solace was the daily thoughts and remembrances of Seonghwa and his voice telling him that he would come back to him. He would be there soon. The worst part about the definition of 'soon' was that it was subjective. One person's soon could be another person's eternity, and goddess, that's what it was starting to feel like to San.

He never lost his hope, though.

San never once doubted Seonghwa's word.

As much as San didn't want to get his hopes up too high, he did sense wolves coming into Eclipse pack grounds. His senses were going haywire at the new wolves, and as San stood up, the tingling and fire slowly igniting within his body only became stronger.

San took a long and deep breath before he opened the door of his house and made his way to the entrance of Eclipse. His hopes were only getting higher and higher as he thought of the possibilities.

It could be Seonghwa.

His body's reaction and his wolf going crazy could only mean that it is Seonghwa, right?

San starts to run, needing to see if what he hopes is true really is. His wolf is pushing him to go faster, and it's only a second before three figures come into San's view.

There's no mistaking those pure white robes.

San feels his body freeze up as he finally takes in Seonghwa in his entirety, admiring the new length of his hair since he hasn't been able to have it trimmed. He studies the still soft look of his skin, knowing it must feel the same as when his fingers last graced it.

"S-San?"

San doesn't realize the tears streaming down his face just as they did the day they said goodbye, feeling Seonghwa's perfect hands gently wiping the wet streaks on his face similarly to how he did to Seonghwa on that same day.
